Andrey Nascimento dos Santos (born 3 May 2004) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Strasbourg, on loan from Premier League club Chelsea, and the Brazil national team.

Club career

Vasco da Gama

At the age of four, Santos was introduced to futsal in an effort to lose weight. He fell in love with the game, and began playing as a defender, before being moved up to midfield during his time in Vasco da Gama's youth academy.[3]

On 6 March 2021, at the age of 16, Santos made his professional debut for Vasco da Gama as an 85th-minute substitute in a 1–0 Campeonato Carioca loss away to Volta Redonda.[4] He would go on to make his league debut in a 3–0 Série B defeat away to Londrina on 28 November 2021.[5] In the 2022 season, Vasco manager Zé Ricardo made Santos a starter in the team, propelling his career to new heights.[3] He became the youngest goalscorer in the club's history on 7 June 2022, netting in a 3–2 Série B victory away to Náutico.[3][6]

Chelsea

On 6 January 2023, Vasco da Gama announced that Santos had departed the club to join Premier League club Chelsea.[7]

Loan to Vasco da Gama

On 2 March 2023, he returned to Vasco on loan until 30 June 2023.[8]

Loan to Nottingham Forest

On 25 August 2023, Chelsea announced Santos' season-long loan to Nottingham Forest.[9] He made his Premier League debut against Liverpool at Anfield. He was recalled from Nottingham Forest on 4 January 2024 after Santos only made two appearances in 5 months.[10]

Loan to Strasbourg

On 1 February 2024, Santos was loaned to Ligue 1 club Strasbourg until the end of the season.[11] The loan was extended for one more season on 2 August 2024.[12]

International career

Santos represented Brazil's under-15s at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship. He has also represented his nation at under-20 level.[3] Santos captained the under-20s en route to an undefeated title in the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, scoring a joint-top six goals during the tournament.[13] In March 2023, Santos was called-up by interim coach Ramon Menezes for Brazil's friendly away at Morocco, where he made his debut as a starter in a 2–1 loss.[14]
